  • Virtual  or remote internships: On-site internships are ideal, but we have revised our internship policy to include virtual internships, provided they meet our standards for academic integrity and quality. Discuss your interest in participating in a remote internship with employers - they may not realize this is a possibility.
  • Project-based “micro” internships: Consider participating in a shorter, project-based micro-internship. This may be a 2-4 week opportunity, but is still a valuable means to gain experience and apply your academic knowledge to a real-world setting.
